Sem 3A – October – Lynn Arnold
The Sem 3A theme for October 2021 is Searching for an Authentic Christian Witness. Lynn Arnold will present tonight on the topic How Bonhoeffer’s insights into leadership address us today.
In the evening of February 1st 1933, the young Bonhoeffer’s radio broadcast was suddenly cut off. Why, was it because he warned his listeners that if a national leader surrenders “to the wishes of his followers, who would then make him an idol thus becoming a ‘misleader’? He proposed that leaders who set themselves up as gods mock God.” Why is it in our time people seem to yearn for a strong leader?
Rev Dr Lynn Arnold AO is a Priest in the Anglican Church. He teaches Systematic Theology at St Barnabas College and ministers out of St Peter’s Cathedral, with a special focus on encouraging dialogue on public issues from Christian perspectives. He was formerly CEO of World Vision and a Premier of South Australia.
